New John Deere tractor, sprayer and precision farming technology will be featured at November’s The CropTec Show in Peterborough, with the focus on machine, system and operator connectivity leading to increased efficiency and reduced operating costs.

John Deere’s new 6250R tractor, featuring the award-winning CommandPRO joystick and an AutoPowr transmission, will be operated with a 5200-litre capacity R952i trailed sprayer equipped with the innovative PowrSpray wet system in the event’s outdoor demonstration area. The 6250R develops up to 300hp with Intelligent Power Management and is fitted as standard with JDLink telematics, including remote display access (RDA) and wireless data transfer (WDT) linked to the MyJohnDeere.com website portal.

CommandPRO’s functionality allows the tractor to be controlled from top speed to zero with a simple push or pull of the joystick. Both this and the conventional tractor pedals can be operated at the same time, and there is no need for an external ISOBUS joystick as the driver can also operate the tractor and ISOBUS functions simultaneously.

PowrSpray features a unique dual-circuit design with two solution pumps, each optimised for a specific function. A 1200-litre/min filling pump offers fast fill of the solution tank at low engine speeds, to reduce noise and fuel consumption. Automatic filling shut-off and the ability to rapidly power fill the 400-litre clean water tank are both standard features.

The industry exclusive Active Pause function enables the solution tank to stop filling while still providing clean water under high pressure for rinsing out chemical containers. This means the typical race against the filling solution tank is eliminated, and operators have all the time and clean water they need to complete chemical filling without stress.

A 1000-litre/min spraying pump delivers high output and exceptional spray accuracy. Automatic control of tank agitation and fully automated multi-cycle rinsing and dilution functions are also standard features of PowrSpray.

Indoors at the show, the emphasis will be on John Deere’s latest FarmSight services and support, including features such as RDA, WDT and Service Advisor Remote, which are now widely available from John Deere dealer specialists. All of this technology is designed to increase productivity and reduce cost, especially when paired with other FarmSight systems such as AutoTrac automatic steering and Section Control for sprayers and spreaders.

John Deere sees the future of farming in connectivity, making the most of machine, field and agronomist data in the decision making process. The company is pioneering the use of such data based around MyJohnDeere.com and a range of connected machines and systems.

The Operations Centre in MyJohnDeere.com serves as the central online location for farmers and contractors to connect to their machines and their fields. It also allows a wide range of partners to provide additional support to customers, including implement manufacturers, agricultural input suppliers, software companies and agricultural service providers such as crop advisors and other specialist consultants.

The latest apps make it very easy to keep track of machinery, get advice on seed and fertiliser rates or spray requirements and monitor machine productivity by working together with, and being connected to, the dealer, farm adviser and other suppliers.

For example, the new MyJobConnect service includes a MyJobsManager app for farm or fleet managers and contractors, and a MyJobs app for operators. There is also an additional app in the MyJobConnect Premium service called MyLogistics, which is an intelligent ag navigation app.

Services can be accessed in two ways, either from the office computer or on-the-go using dedicated apps for tablets and smartphones, which allow drivers to view and carry out tasks in real time from their mobile devices.

This latest John Deere connectivity package is designed to free up time for farmers and contractors to focus on their core business, and makes the complete work process including job planning, work orders, data recording, customer invoicing and reporting much easier, faster and more efficient.

Opti-cal are pleased to provide cutting edge drone software and hardware solutions. For generations farmers have walked their fields investigating crops manually for signs of stress or disease. This traditional, labour intensive method is time consuming and can be difficult when crop canopies thicken. With the development of UAV technology, this is no longer required!

Using the Parrot Sequoia multispectral sensor capturing multispectral images has never been easier. The Sequoia is revolutionising the sector, offering a comprehensive, adaptable solution that is compatible with all types of drones. With its two sensors, multispectral and sunshine, Sequoia analyses plants' vitality by capturing the amount of light they absorb and reflect. Collecting this data means that farmers can do what's best for their fields.

Implementing DJI Zenmuse XT's thermal capabilities, irrigation and water pooling can be managed more efficiently. Powered by FLIR's industry leading Tau 2 thermal camera, the Inspire XT gives growers a detailed understanding of the state of their lands, giving them fundamental insights that lead to better decision making.

Pix4D’s cutting edge software, multispectral, RGB and thermal images can be converted into accurate reflectance and index maps, like NDVI, and high resolution orthomosaics. Easily integrate drone-based technology into your Ag operations, processing locally when and where you want.

Opti-cal have the knowledge and skills to be able to support your entry into the world of Aerial Survey work. We can advise you on getting the right UAV and sensors for your line of work and provide full training and support when it comes to processing your data into 2D and 3D systems.

Opti-cal Survey Equipment is a well-established industry-leading supplier of land survey and precision measurement technologies. We sell, hire and service new and re-conditioned land survey and laser equipment.

At Sencrop, we are a passionate team dedicated to making a real impact in agriculture.

Sencrop empowers ALL farmers to make the right decisions at the right time to improve their yields, and ultimately their way of life.
Sencrop allows agri-partners (resellers, chemical companies, technical centers, etc.) to spread their services with ultra-local information, and get a closer relationship with the farmers.

Our solution gives farmers the ability to:

View the current conditions of their fields in real time.
Make better agronomic decisions thanks to ultra-local weather information.
Have more interaction with their partners based on streaming data.

Thanks to low-power, long-range networks, and affordable, connected sensors, in-field data streams continuously into the Sencrop cloud platform.
Sencrop has developed a web and mobile-based platform to:

View in-field ag-weather conditions in real time.
Access or push alerts and decision-making tools.
Connect and fuel in any agry-partners services based on in-field data.connected to in-field sensors.

Sencrop is dedicated to bringing valuable precision farming services to farmers everywhere.

Sencrop is compatible with all agronomic Decision support tools and disease models: data integration to cooperatives/merchant’s agronomic models (disease prediction, pest management, stage of plant growth, etc.). We allow agri-partners to spread their services.
Sencrop is a collaborative platform enabling any farmer to share their data/observation with their ag-experts, partners or neighbours.
Low-power, large area network: a young technology but a global trend.

Today, Sencrop is building the largest customer base in Europe with powerful cloud and key partnerships.

Sencrop is particularly adapted to the potato growers and permits to predict the late blight disease, based on agronomic developed by key partners.

Reduce the amount of back and forth trips a farmer make to spray its crops; offset treatments by several days if necessary: local data relayed from the connected ag-weather station in real time are invaluable for deciding how to treat crops when risk factors for disease are present. Late blight growth is stimulated by successive periods of warm weather and high humidity. Water on potato leaves prompts blight zoospores to germinate and causes plants to become infected.

Sencrop enables you to anticipate and program a system of simple alerts. Sencrop can fuel data into any decisionmaking tool that makes it possible to know the risk of the fields being infected by late blight at any time, based on weather forecasts, crop varieties, planting, and sprouting dates, overall health statuses and previous actions taken (treatments and irrigation, etc).

Data is an increasingly important asset for any business. By using data to inform decisions businesses can:

Take actions in a timely manner
Reduce risk
Take advantage of opportunities to develop a competitive edge

Yara Analytical Services have been undertaking soil analysis (and foliar, petiol and organic matter analyses) for over 40 years and consequently have a large bank of data that can inform us of trends, widespread deficiencies and geographic nutrient information.

Data presents the same opportunities to farmers, but too often analysis taken is not acted on. A broad spectrum test delivers important intelligence to a farmer, giving you the opportunity to remove any limiting factor to your crops yield and quality. Don’t miss out – create a competitive advantage by acting on the information available to you.

Come to the Yara Stand 130 at CropTec and discuss how soil and crop data can help your business decisions.

RB209, the long-established guide for crop nutrition, is being revised to accommodate changing requirements, higher yielding crops and nutritional uptake.. Two experts among those reviewing and updating updating the guidelines, explain why change is required, the impact on crop profitability and how you can have your input on such areas as software compatibility.

Day 1: Sarah Clarke, ADAS Day 2: Susie Roques, ADAS

Nutrient Issues - Learnings from a ‘Big Dataset’

Nitrogen is the #1 nutrient for achieving average yields, however, consistent high yields are the consequence of understanding and reacting to other seasonal limitations – some we can manage, some we can’t. Jonathan Telfer will explore some findings from a ‘BIG DATASET’ held in the Yara Analytical Laboratory.

Nutrient Management - Measuring to Manage and Apply – A Farmers View

The individual with the hardest task is the farmer who has to collate and develop a practical nutrient strategy, often on a large scale, that balances nutrient demand and nutrient supply integrating soil and crop knowledge with the application of nutrients from AD residue and mineral fertilizers. Ian Rudge will give a farmer view on the strategy implemented at Bedfordia Farms and some of the tools used to fine tune their crop management.
